der foot. and try to destroy Scriptural
iaith, therefore, be it.

working people to keep away from said
societies, for according to our experience
such company is not advisable for Catho.
lie working people, for where prohibition
lists, anarchists and socialists assemble to
consult about the welfare of man.
kind, there should not be found any Ger
man Catholic workingmen. In order to
protect the good name OF German Catholic
societies from injury. all societies should
be exhorted not to receive in their midst
any Knights OF Labor. and such as are al
ready in them should be induced to leave
the Knights of Labor. Mr.. Mitsch spoke
In favor OF his resolution. The Knights
of Labor had a demoralizing influence up
on the German workingmen. He failed to
see any difference between the Knights OF
Labor and other socialists and prohibition
societies. He was sorry to see that many
Germans were members OF an order the
leaders OF which had addressed q petition
to congress against German immigration,
while Mr.. Powderly had openly shown
himself to be a prohibitionist and enemy
OF the Germans. The entire order OF the
Knights OF Labor was governed by Irish.

disgrace to be ruled by Irish ignoramuses.
